Boyfriend of 3 months withheld major information.
I am a 27 year old female who has been dating a 29 year old man I went to high school with. Although we went to high-school together I honestly didn’t know too much about him. So after 10 years he reached out to me via Facebook and I decided why not. I moved from our hometown and we have been doing long distance. We have only been dating and seeing each other for three months now. Things were honestly too good to be true until a couple of weeks ago. He told me in the beginning he was robbed at gunpoint (he works at a bank) and then he was rear ended by a semi-truck. These events gave him PTSD and he’s been seeing a psychiatrist. Well he told me that not only does he have PTSD but he has a cannabis disorder? I found that to be odd. Then a week or so later he told me he has Bipolar 2. I was understanding and willing to continue dating him. But then the next week rolls around and he tells me he lied about why him and his ex broke up. He told me they had broken up because he moved back to our hometown and she didn’t want to. Come to find out he said he had a gambling problem and gambled $20,000 and he wasn’t diagnosed with bipolar 2 at that point and she was tired of it. Now he’s getting help with medication as well as talking to his psychiatrist. But here’s another bomb he dropped on me, he texted me one day and said he has an addiction to Kratom and he was going to rehab. I was completely baffled..because what? Then I heard absolutely nothing else from him. His mom messaged me on Facebook, and told me he’s going to rehab for 30 days., mind you I haven’t met his mother yet, so that was awkward. I’m a super understanding and compassionate person, but my ex I was with for three years was also bipolar and he wasn’t getting help, but it was very damaging to me. Am I wrong for wanting to end this relationship? I feel like withholding major things like mental disorders and an addiction is definitely a red flag. I don’t think I can handle that.
